Georgia football: Fake injuries are an issue that the NCAA cannot afford

Who thought going into the weekend that we’d be reading stories about fake injuries? To be quite honest, we shouldn’t be. Georgia football and Notre Dame played a fantastic game that was much closer than many expected and in many ways will go down as an instant classic.

Yes Georgia made mistakes, and they won’t beat Alabama playing like that, but a close game does tend to be more fun for neutral observers.

What isn’t fun is watching one team fake injuries to slow down an opposing offense. It’s underhand, misguided, and detrimental to the long term health of the game.
